The Protectors

Forgiveness is the First Step to Happiness

I smiled at the professor and held my hands behind my back. "I don't know who he was, but I can give you a description of the events that occurred." He nodded, signaling me to continue. I leaned against his desk, yawning a bit before I continue. "I was reading late at night outside the dormitories, and was heading back. I stopped because I saw a demon boy beating up a smaller boy of Ushi-oni descent." The professor's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"Could you describe this demon for me?" I watched as one student made their way to the back of the class, but continued with a lowered voice. "He has red iris' with sharply pointed pupils, brown hair that had dyed red tips, and he was dark skinned." He nodded yet again towards me. "Did you and the Ushi-oni boy seek treatment?" I crossed my arms. "I believe so, I awoke in the infirmary." He quirked an eyebrow and frowned. "Did you leave without proper treatment?" I shrugged gently and looked to the side.

"No one was there, so I left." He sighed to himself and wrote down more on the paper. "I'll inform campus security and teachers to send him to the principal, you may be called later." I nodded and sat down, taking out my book and reading again. After a few minutes, students started filing in.

I heard a squeal from a girl, who quickly sat next to me. I smiled, quickly recognizing the bubbly personality. "Hello, Kai." I now realized that her squeal was one of concern, seeing a worried expression overtake her face. "Oh my gosh, what happened to you, beauty?!" Her hand went under my chin and she moved my face so she could see the area around my eye patch better. She let go and stared at me, anger filling her eyes. "Who hurt you? I'll murder them with a tornado."

My eyes widened and I shook my head. "It's okay, Kai. I'm fine, seriously." She hit the desk gently. "Explain, now." I blinked, worried for my safety, and I heard a voice to my right. "Yeah, you better explain that to me as well." I looked to see Kyro passing in front of me, then sit next to Kai. I sighed to myself and started to explain myself. I could see the anger building in Kai's eyes as I finished speaking.

"If he ever talks to you again, I'm gonna pummel him." Kyro chuckles. "I second that." I smile a little and I hear a voice chirp up behind me. "Yeah missy, don't think I wasn't angry either." I turned to see Seth and Joshua in their seats. Joshua was resting his chin on his hand, Seth sitting up straight. "He's already angered an air nymph, a dragon. Not to mention he's got a medium angry, and a enraged reaper." I shook my head at Seth. I find it odd that all of them clicked so easily with me, but it's somewhat normal for supernaturals to make quick friends.

"I'm not mad at the kid, I just wish he would've handled things differently. Besides, the school is taking care of it." I smiled a little and Seth slumped a little, I noticed Kai did as well. I sent traces of a happy mood towards them and Seth huffed. "No fair, you can make me not mad." I chuckled a little, nervously, then the professor cleared his voice. "Alright everyone. Please listen carefully, this, as well as everything we review, is important knowledge." I took out my notebook and pen, ready to take notes. The professor smiled at the class. "Okay. Let's begin."

Our professor gave a presentation on how to fit in to the world, but unlike when we were younger, this gave in depth descriptions of how to hide our abilities. Our lesson was cut short as an announcement rang through the intercoms. "May I see Llesme Ever to the principle's office?" The professor smiled at me and spoke loudly. "Sure thing." I stood up grabbing my bag, assuming this was about my situation yesterday. When I arrived at the front office, I knocked on the principle's door.

"Come in." I heard an annoyed voice ring out, clearly that of a woman. I entered to see the demon boy sitting with his arms crossed, clearly agitated. I glanced upward to see a woman who appeared to be a Kelpie. Kelpies commonly have other supernaturals gift them with the ability to shape shift. The only reason I could identify her so easily was due to her obsession with dark colors in the room, along with her extremely long black hair.
